Can I add a sound to TikTok videos/carousels?

Unfortunately, due to API limitations from TikTok, it's NOT possible to select a sound when posting directly through a 3rd party app, like Publer.

In such cases, we recommend that you add a sound to the video or carousel beforehand. After you have added the sound, you can upload the video/photos to Publer, make any last minute changes, and then publish it directly through Publer.

However, if you want to add a TikTok sound, then you will have to rely on the semi-automated and push-notifications solution mentioned below.

Workaround

As a workaround, you can choose to get a reminder/push-notification on your phone on the scheduled time.

To add a sound to your TikTok post:

Go to Publer, select your TikTok account, and upload your video/photos.
Choose Get a reminder option and schedule the video/carousel.
You will get a notification once the post is ready, and then you can proceed with adding a sound.
Make the last changes, and post it to TikTok.

For a more detailed guide, please follow the steps outlined on this article here. This semi-automated solution would let you finish posting the video using TikTok's editor, where you can add various elements to the video/carousel, including a sound.

Note: If you want to post TikTok videos or carousels directly, you cannot add a sound due to API limitations.
